Aggression
immediATE HELP
A structured, judgment-free path forward for dogs with fear, reactivity, guarding, or bite history.
REDUCE THE STRESS, REPAIR THE RELATIONSHIP
“CHRIS SHOWED US HOPE, THEN GAVE US THE TOOLS TO CHANGE OUR DOG’S BEHAVIOUR. WE ARE FOREVER THANKFUL FOR HIS GUIDANCE AND HELPING US KEEP OUR DOG”
You’re not alone — and you’re not a bad owner.
Aggression is one of the most misunderstood and isolating challenges in dog training. At K9 Edge, we specialize in helping families understand and manage behaviours like:
Growling, lunging, and barking
Biting or snapping at people or dogs
Resource guarding
Fear-based reactivity
Handling sensitivity or vet aggression
Whether it’s dog/human aggression, dog/dog aggression, or reactivity, the consequences are real as enrichment activities (walks/playtime/socialization) are lost.
The stress is equally real as lifestyles and relationships are altered around the challenges presented by these behaviours.
These cases are complex and complex and consistent training plans are vital to success. Repetitions of the unwanted behaviour must be stopped. Generic or short-term training won’t work.
K9Edge offers a strategic, scientific, and supportive program that will help you understand your dog and how to achieve your goals.
Safety is always the priority — and so is understanding your dog’s unique needs, history, and environment.

HOW IT WORKS - Our Two-Step Aggression Stream
What Makes Our Program Different
Realistic Outcomes: We’ll tell you the truth about what can (and can’t) change.

Experience You Can Trust: 30+ years in public safety + certified aggression handling approaches.
What to Expect
Q: Can I skip the consult and book training?
A: No. All aggression clients must complete the consult first — it’s how we keep people and dogs safe.
Q: Will you train my dog for me?
A: This is a handler-focused program — you must be involved in every session. We coach you to create lasting change.
Q: What if my dog has bitten someone or another dog?
A: We’ll review bite history honestly using a bite severity scale and antecedent analysis. We do work with many dogs who have bitten — and all dogs respond to behaviour modification. The complexity of lasting behaviour change relies on the dedicated work of the owner under the professional guidance offered. We are with you all along the way.
